A Maker Member exhibition on the theme of Winter celebrations in the Riverside Gallery

Christmas and winter is a time to slow down, to gather and tell stories, eat, drink and celebrate.

To complement the annual Christmas show Under the Tree Liz is delighted to be part of the curated Maker Member display in the Riverside Gallery. She will exhibit new work of richly textured nuno felt table mats and pleated felt acoustic tiles.

A variety of craft disciplines, from ceramics and print, to jewellery and textiles, will adorn the space in a celebration of winter gatherings in the home to make perfect gifts for the Christmas season.

The best work by Devon Guild of Craftsmen Makers

 We built a pond in our garden some 20 years ago. The small lily plant has since multiplied and each year gives us spectacular blooms. I have captured the transitory beauty on camera many times.

During the second national lockdown I searched for creative inspiration amongst my photo albums. One lily photo caught my eye. I have often thought to explore design opportunity on the computer and set about pixelating the lily image. One thing lead to another.

The design was enlarged and printed on sheets of A4 paper which I joined to create a cartoon from which to work, as would a tapestry weaver.

I have a stash of unused hand dyed felt, some of which has blotchy irregular surface colouration. Perfect for cutting into small squares and using to ‘paint’ a canvas. The Lockdown Lily collection was born.

The collection comprises three individual panels each 40cm x 40cm made up of 1.5cm squares and irregular blocks of hand cut felt pieces.

The project has been a truly all consuming lockdown activity!

Saturday, 17th April - Sunday, 27th June 2021

Liz is pleased to have had work selected for this exhibition in Felletin, France.

Tous les deux ans, Felletin met à l’honneur un savoir-faire séculaire et pourtant méconnu : le feutre de laine.

Malgré le report de la 7ème édition des Journées Européennes du feutre à 2023, c’est avec bonheur que nous ouvrons donc notre saison 2021 avec cette exposition de grands formats feutrés d’artistes textiles européens. Reconnu artisanat d’art en 2016, le feutre ainsi déployé en tentures et tapis fait le lien avec la tapisserie de basse-lice, art emblématique du territoire sud-creusois.

Étoffe intissée constituée de fibres amalgamées entre elles, le feutre se révèle protéiforme et enchanteur. Ses qualités et son aspect varient en fonction du type de laine utilisé, de la technique employée, des autres matières ajoutées, de l’épaisseur et enfin du degré de feutrage des fibres.
Venez découvrir toute la diversité, l’inventivité et le charme des créations feutrées de notre temps.

As part of this event, an exhibition presenting the best of the current felted creation, will be shown in the 15th century church of Notre-Dame-du-château.
